Feature Request: Support Creating Containers Without Host Port Bindings

[RuBeeN-cmd]

It would be useful to support creating webserver containers without binding ports on the host machine. This would allow services to remain accessible only within the pelican_nw network, making it easier to place a reverse proxy in front of them for controlled external access.

without port is possible already, but that is for no port at all.
But i would also like the possibility for this, docker has the ability already when binding to 127.0.0.1 to keep it local, or even no external binding

im not sure im understanding completely. you can already make the containers local only by binding them to 127.0.0.1, then you only bind the container that needs external access to the actual ip of the machine. its not the exact same, but thats how i run my minecraft servers and a proxy managing them.

[mristau]

you can't use 127.0.0.1 in pelican, you can just completely leave it without allocation
docker can use 127.0.0.1 and a container will stay local

alright, wasnt completely sure because it didnt work correctly when i didnt set it like that, but ill try it later.

[RuBeeN-cmd]

The thing I try to do is to make all minecraft servers containers listen on their container IP, all on 25565 like 172.X.X.X:25565. And NOT binds those port to the host machin. So I would have a single proxy server listening on 25565, and this Will be bind on the host server, and since it in pelican_nw, it can access to the childs servers.

@mristau we mightve misunderstood each other somewhere. only way im seeing where specific servers can stay local only within the host is if i allocate 127.0.0.1 for a server. it works exactly as i want it this way. no allocation gave me websocket errors.
EDIT:
ok now im really confused, i removed an allocation from a different server and when i started it it worked fine. but if i remove all allocations from another server and start it i get an error "unable to sync server data from Panel instance: expected { character for map value". and when wings is restarted in this state, i get a full websocket error for this particular server, i.e., cant see files and cant start it like it doesnt exist. if i readd the allocation and restart wings, it comes back.
